The One-Stop DAW for Recording, Editing, Mastering, and More

Get in, get out, get your work done -- that's what PreSonus Studio One Professional 2 music-production software is all about. With this laid-back DAW, you get all the powerful editing tools, virtual instruments, MIDI-mapping, and video features you need in a clean, easy-to-navigate, drag-and-drop-style workspace. No fuss, no muss! Integrated Melodyne Essentials pitch correction, IR Maker impulse-response creator, and other integrated plug-ins round out Studio One Professional 2, making the DAW a must-have production system for any digital musician.

The Most Complete Version of PreSonus Studio One

Studio One Professional gives you everything found in Studio One Artist and Studio One Producer versions -- and much more. The Professional edition adds the Project page with its mastering tools, fully licensed Melodyne Essential for time-correction and pitch-correction on mono sources, the ability to export directly to SoundCloud, Red Book CD burning, video playback and sync; and additional Native Effects plug-ins: Groove Delay, Multiband Dynamics, OpenAIR, Pipeline, and IR Maker. With Studio One Professional, you can record, mix, master, upload, and burn CDs and DVDs within the same software!

Superior Sound

A 64-bit double-precision audio engine adds clarity and detail to your sound, and a fully stocked editing toolkit provides the means to achieve polished, professional-sounding tracks regardless of their original condition when they first entered Studio One Professional's door.

Single-Window Workspace for Editing, Slicing, Dicing, and More

Fittingly, Studio One Professional provides a one-window work environment, which puts important tools and parameters right where you want them. Forget having to scroll through menus or perform a hundred clicks before you get to the audio clip or track section you want. Within the workspace, you can drag and drop audio clips, MIDI files, FX, and virtual instruments to get the party started, and then dive deeper into your audio bytes with multitrack comping, multitrack MIDI editing, and transient detection and editing with groove extraction. Access QuickTime video playback and sync features, import and export MP3 files and videos, upload finalized tracks to the Web, and more, without ever having to leave the main window.

Unlimited Everything

Work with as many audio tracks, MIDI tracks, software instruments, buses, and FX channels as you want -- record each member of the band and put it all together within Studio One Professional 2. Then sweeten your sound with 31 Native Effects plug-ins, plus third-party VST and AU plug-ins, and ReWire.

Melodyne Pitch Correction At Your Fingertips -- Plus More Plug-ins

For your less-than-perfect audio clips, make the most of the fully licensed Melodyne Essential pitch correction plug-in, which allows you to re-tune and time-correct vocals (or any monophonic source) without having to do a retake in the studio.
Other included plug-ins make it just as easy to smooth out your sound: Multiband Dynamics, Open AIR convolution reverb, Pipeline for integrating outboard processors, Groove Delay, and IR Maker for creating original impulse responses for Open AIR and Ampire XT.

Mastering Tools -- Right Within Your DAW

Be the master of your mastering session with the DAW's Project page. Here you'll find metering and processing options, plus direct integration between mixing and mastering environments. From the Project page, you can automatically upload content to Nimbit and SoundCloud, as well as burn CDs, duplicate files, and export complete mixes in five different file formats.

Built-In Bonus Goodies

Want to make music now? Go ahead, with the included samples and sounds from Native Instruments Komplete Elements library. PreSonus Studio One Professional 2 also includes four virtual instruments: Presence, Impact, Mojito, and SampleOne.

Overall:
I am a professional musician/producer who had been a protools use for 15 years. After the 9 to 10 fiascoe I decided I had lost all faith in a company thats only interest was money. It cost $39 to ask a question at the tech line for gods sake. I'd had enough. I started looking at various other DAWS and came across 2 that turned me on. Studio One Pro and Sonar x2 I bought them both as they both had features that I could use and would actually give e more features than protools. Studio One is amazing! I worked with it for a couple of hours and was already writing a song. It is so intuitive. The drag and drop features are unreal. This product runs faster than my protools HD, doesn't crash every 10 minutes like protools HD, doesn't slow down or freeze like protools. I began to wonder why protools was the "industry standard" I guess if you tell the same lie enough times people start to believe it. I have to admit I felt quite sick that I'd spent 10's of thousands of dollars on my protools rig and $399 on studio one pro. Bottom line it's a far better product than protools. So much in fact I bought the presonus 24.4.2 mixer interface. Now it even sounds better than protools. My work flow is up by about 600% i wrote, mixed and mastered 6 songs in the time it would have taken with protools. The choice is obvious. Using studio one pro in conjunction with Sonar x2 has made the strongest DAW I've EVER used. With a couple of UAD QUAD CORE DSP ACCELLERATOR CARDS WITH POWERED PLUGINS protools becomes an amateur product to learn on. 10/10 great product

"Pro Review"

Overall:
I have to say, I am very surprised at the low review scores for this software. As a person that uses this software every day, I would assert myself as a credible source.
I turn every one I can onto this fantastic software as often as possible. I love it, and here's why:
Workflow.
Th unique way this program allows you to start working on a song and then expand it into an entire album is not matched by any other single program out there. I have found that my full cd releases have become more consistent in their sound and more polished in their sonic presentation since switching to this program.
It accepts any major format plug-in, sorts them beautifully, and allows you to work with all of them in a SINGLE SCREEN. I love the flow. I bet you will, too. Give it a shot! After a brief learning curve, I just bet you'll be a died-in-the-wool convert like myself!
